The correct answer is option 4 - Lord Mayo. Lord Richard Bourke, also known as Lord Mayo, was the only Viceroy of India to be assassinated. He served as Viceroy from 1869 to 1872. On February 8, 1872, while visiting a prison in Andaman Islands, Lord Mayo was fatally stabbed by a convict named Sher Ali. The assassination of Lord Mayo was a significant event in British India, and it led to increased security measures and stricter regulations in the penal colony. It is worth noting that Lord Harding was not assassinated and served as Viceroy from 1910 to 1916. Similarly, Lord Northbrook and Lord Ellenborough were also not assassinated during their tenures as Viceroys of India.
